Brand Equity: The ability of an established brand to add measureable value to the products and services that carry the Brand’s name.

Brand Equity Tracking

There are many definitions for “brand equity” or “brand value”, but we prefer the one presented above. First, because it focuses on the benefit to the marketing organization of a well-managed brand: the enhanced monetary value of branded products and services. Secondly, because this definition lends itself to measurement and verification through proven quantitative techniques.

Leadership Starts with Positive Awareness …

The Importance of “Top-of-Mind” Awareness When consumers are asked to think about a category and then recall the first brands that come to mind, those brands that demonstrate prompt, unaided recall are almost always the category leaders.

Whether measured by dollar volume, share, repeat purchase or favorable ratings, top-of-mind brands tend to dominate the categories in which they compete.

That leadership status is earned through consistent, positive and well-directed marketing efforts.
